according to this:
http://www.preterhuman.net/texts/computing/general/format.txt
there is a program by which the T2K can display gif
images. The only graphics package (besides Autocad)
that was graphics oriented was Lumena, and that was so
old I sincerely doubt gifs were around then. If anyone
happens to know if this is true, please inform.
That site seems to have a number of text files
archived, some possibly vintage oriented.

GIF was developed by Compuserve in 1987, although at that
point they were also pushing RLE images. Yes, Lumena predates
that by at least four years.
AutoCAD is vector oriented, not pixel-oriented, although at
some point Autodesk may have introduced a tool that rasterized
a vector drawing and exported it as GIF.

Same as all the rest of the interesting files at Compuserve:
protected into oblivion when they were steamrolled by the Web.
I wonder if they bothered to keep backup tapes of all the
forum discussions and file collections. That would be
endlessly fascinating for historical purposes... millions
of posts going back to the early 80s... Maybe a few will
turn up some day.

Ugh. Have you looked at the file section? Most items are labelled
"No subject" and you have to drill into each one to see what it is.
